Official Football Pre-Season Thread 10/11

[MikeNUFC]

So only a month or so 'til the new season(s) start throughout football.

I assume everyone is buzzing for it. Should be fucking great.

Just a place to discuss predictions, transfers, pre-season friendlies and anything else 10/11 season related.

Bring it on mo'fuckers!



My predictions:
-Premier League: Man United followed by Chelsea, then Arsenal. Man City to get the last Champions League Spot
-Relegation: WBA, Blackpool and Wigan
-FA Cup: Arsenal
-Carling Cup: Liverpool
-Champions League: Chelsea (its their time)
-Uefa Cup: Couldnt give a fuck. I'll shout out a random team - CSKA Moscow
-La Liga: Barca
-Bundesliga: Wolfsburg
-Serie A: Inter

Chelsea vs Crystal Palace this Saturday can't wait

I really wanna see benayoun play for the first time in a chelsea shirt
plus, i hope he uses youngsters such as kakuta and sturridge and borini and mancienne, rajkovic etc.....

Benayoun is brilliant. Seriously underated.

Man City are so overrated, I bet they will end up being 5th, 6th.

Team of stars doesnt usually work but I dunno, Liverpool will flop under Hodgson - bad appointment. And Spurs will struggle with having the Champs League as well. I dont really see much alternative to 4th

Everton might surprise. Dunno.

Really man? I'm a United fan, I can't stand Liverpool... but I think Hodgson is a fantastic appointment for them. Wealth of experience, organised, won't waste their VERY limited funds, and wants to buy English which is nice to see.

Heres main predicition:
Premier League:Chelsea
La Liga:Barcelona
Bundesliga:hmmm,this one is hard,Bayern or HSV
Seria A:Inter prolly

Hodgson is WORLD CLASS manager, dont get me wrong. But I really don't think he'll work at Liverpool. I know it's cliched but it's so different working at a "bigger club" like Liverpool.

Of course, I dont really know, just what I think.

On Champions League thing, I believe Chelsea are due some luck. Something always seems to happen - Luis Garcia's "goal", Terry's pen miss, terrible ref against Barca etc - but I think they'll do it this year.

Of course, let's be serious Newcastle will win the Prem this year, no doubt.

I really want to see Lukaku in Chelsea.

[MikeNUFC]

Lol @ him liking Drogba and Chelsea means he MUST be comming. i like JT and been to the bridge more than Lukaku does that mean im signing?

Killa, you iz soooo dumb. Chelsea is da wickidiest club in the world and they are da best! He love Drogba and he play for best team ever- CHELSEA! 100%!

CHELSEA! DUDUDUDUDUDUDUDU DU DU DU DU CHELSEA!

[dR3]

@dr3, Lukaku will 100% join Chelsea
He has always said that chelsea is his fav team and that drogba is his idol

His school even had a school trip to Stamford Bridge
Couple of pics:





and rumours has it that Drogba got Lukaku's number from Vincent Kompany so he could talk to him about joining chelsea
Everything points that when Lukaku leaves Anderlecht, his only destination will be Stamford Bridge

I wouldn't say 100%, but it's possible for him to join. And I don't think Drogba really talked to him.

[dR3]

I just read that Lukaku is not for sale. I don't know how reliable that site is.

[Sleepy]

we need a midfielder,just one,and we will win the title

Rumours about Balotelli,id be delighted but shocked if we signed him cos we dont have the money

and my sources tell me that Newcastle are after Tom Cleverly on a loan deal.I hope he stays with us this season as i can see him getting first team oppurtunities.Watfords Player of the season last season
